A charming detached cottage, situated in a unique location, early viewing advised! The property, believed to be the gamekeeper's cottage for the Rufford Estate, has been extended to provide spacious accommodation on one level.
Property Oracle says ..
Keepers Cottage presents a unique opportunity to acquire a charming detached bungalow in a semi-rural setting. Situated in Mere Brow, near Preston, the property benefits from a peaceful location, with nearby well-regarded primary schools (Tarleton Mere Brow Church of England Primary School and Holmeswood Methodist School, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) adding to its family-friendly appeal. The closest train station, New Lane, is roughly 4.36 km away, offering links to larger towns. The interior reveals a property with character. The décor and fixtures appear dated, however, and an update will likely be necessary to meet modern standards. The home features a sizeable garden, creating a lovely outdoor area, though it will likely require some landscaping work. The price of the property appears slightly inflated considering its age and need for modernization. A buyer should consider its potential for refurbishment to maximise its value. Overall, Keepers Cottage offers a blend of quiet countryside living and accessibility, appealing to those seeking a project property in a serene location. However, potential buyers should factor in the costs of modernization and assess if the final value after improvements is in line with market expectations.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
